[Bioc-devel] Hardware
I'm not an expert by any means, but unless you have a fair amount of money and a fairly high frustration tolerance for open-source software, I'd stick with a 32-bit machine, at least for a couple of iterations of R, libraries, compilers, and operating systems.

Hi, I have a question about which hardware would be the best for what i do. i'm analysing genomics data with R and bioconductor under linux. The chip has about 22000 spots, and the project deals with 200 patients. So that makes a lot of data to process. I was wodering if it was better to have a 32bit processor with a higher frequency, or a 64bit processor, but with a lower CPU speed ? I saw that there was a RPM package for 64bit processor for R, does it mean that it's optimized ? Thanks for your answers julien [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
